Trump mocks McCain at Nevada rally
The Hill ^ | June 24, 2018 | Emily Birnbaum

Posted on 06/23/2018 9:05:45 PM PDT by Trump20162020

President Trump again mocked Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) on Saturday for McCain’s thumbs-down vote on the Republican plan to repeal ObamaCare.

Though Trump did not mention McCain by name, he has attacked the senator several times in recent weeks for his “no” on the GOP measure and has blamed McCain for the collapse of the Republican effort to repeal the act.

Trump at a GOP rally in Nevada said McCain went thumbs-down on the bill, a reference to McCain using the gesture to signify his vote.

"Nobody talked to him. Nobody needed to, and then he walked in: thumbs-down. It’s alright, because we’ve essentially gutted it anyway," Trump said of ObamaCare at the rally.

McCain allowed his name to be put on a letter slamming Trump for the “kids in cages” stuff just last week. So he aint dead yet and he (or some puppet master using the guys name) is still lashing out at Trump. If your well enough to dish it out, you are still eligible to get it back at ya.

Heller is changing his tune. There's a reason why Trump rallied for him. Plus he is a former Army veteran and doctor.

In this case, I would hold my nose for him.

Not one of Trump’s brighter moves.

McCain deserves worse than mocking.

He deserves to be indicted:

What's the deal with Mormons? You talk to one, and they sound like good, sound Conservatives, solid people....but you dig a little deeper, they're plastic.

then their politics...talk a good show, but go all Harry Reid on you in certain situations.

After this rodent is finally dead, I will do my best to never again mention Worm Food McCain. The words Songbird McCain will seldom, if ever, pass over my lips again, once this lowlife backstabber is dead. Heck, I will likely no longer call him a traitor or talk about his apparent corruption.... once his stinking remains are tossed into the dirt.

I realize President Trump is sort of endorsing Heller but I refuse to vote for him. I’ll vote none of the above there.

Exactly. Same goes for fathers who insert themselves into campaigns and attack Trump. But the minute Trump fights back , it becomes you attacked my father!!!

“What’s the deal with Mormons? You talk to one, and they sound like good, sound Conservatives, solid people....but you dig a little deeper, they’re plastic.”

Well, having been raised (well sort of, my sister and I were sent to church) a Mormon, I can tell you first-hand, that you can’t be a Christmas and Easter Mormon, like you can be a Catholic. You are either in, or you’re out. So I opted, after I left home, to be OUT! I think, like most religions, there is an attempt to, to indoctrinate, and subjugate you, and force you to conform to someone’s idea of a system of beliefs. As you have found, Mormons, by and large are very decent, honest, hard-working folks. What you call “plastic,” is just their blind obedience to Mormonism. As a consequence, you will see “Brother Romney” win “Brother Hatch’s” Senate seat. But that’s not unusual in other places where some sect holds the majority. And you see it in Nevada and Arizona too, because both states have large Mormon populations. My wife grew up in Las Vega, which oddly enough was originally settled by Mormons. When we were first married, the line on Las Vegas was that the Jews owned it, and the Mormons ran it, and that’s still true to some degree today, even though it’s grown from less than 100,000 in 1966 to more than 2.5 million today.
When I was a kid, the Mormon Church was solidly Republican. I remember when Richard Nixon visited the church hierarchy, they offered him their support. Now though, you get POS like Harry Reid (who oddly is married to a Jew, who has not converted to Mormonism so far as I know), along with other RAT Mormons like the Udalls who hang out in AZ, NM and CO, and others who’s names escape me at the moment.
But the takeaway should be that you can count on Mormons in government to adopt policies that are in harmony with their church’s teachings. That said, Romney seems to be an outlier, who has managed to be at odds with some of the church’s closely held beliefs, and yet still manages to stay in their good graces.

Her daddy’s attacks on TEA Party patriots, constitutionalists, conservatives, and the current (but not previous) president of the united states are ‘gross’.

His urging the IRS to give TEA Party applicants a hard time is beyond gross. It’s a base betrayal of conservatives and the basic tenets of the Constitution.
